P. Cole's review and rating: </div> <div> If you like Woody Allen movies before and including "Annie Hall", you will LOVE this story. It definitely has Allenesque touches, most particularly in Herbie himself.</div> <div> The story does seem to go back and forth and back and forth with outrageous and silly stunts. Most of them are convincing, but one does fail as I'll explain...</div> <div> The scene which fails is simple. Scott and Kelly, captured by the bad guys, are locked in a room containing three large bins of oranges. Kelly and Scott eat a couple, and look around. They find a window at the very top. They get a brilliant idea to use the oranges as a mountain forgetting that when trying to run up such a structure, it'll fall like a ... pile of oranges. Even if they could construct it on their own that high without knocking it all down, there appear to be more oranges in the 'mountain' than there ever were in the three bins. Food for thought...</div> <div> The ending is shoddy, too. The female agent now has true love for Herbie (awwww) and now wants to quit her job as being a spy chick. So she unties him, they leave the room... while Scotty, Kelly, and the bad guys are duking it out!</div> <div> All in all, this one fills me with ambivalence. Still, some of the sheer awfulness brings out the sheer wonderfulness. And you can tell Culp and Cosby are having a ball with this episode as it shines through to the viewer.
